"My next fight would have been for the belt, but this one will be welcome, too. It will enhance my resume a lot. I liked the choice and the opportunity to be a coach on the reality show [and] it will be a great challenge. My English is not 100 percent, but I'll do my best and I'm sure I'll be good...

Lesnar is a tough guy. He's great. He's very different from Cain Velasquez, because he's larger, but a bit slower. But he's just as dangerous as Cain. It will be different, but I'll keep working on the same things, which are my takedown defense and boxing...

I'm still picking my team. Luiz Dorea will be the boxing coach. Billy [Schiebe], an American friend, should be the muay Thai coach. I'm thinking of someone else for jiu-jitsu, and the wrestling coach could be Rodrigo Artilheiro, who is very good, and speaks both Portuguese and English, which helps with communication. I think early next week, we'll have the full team."

-Junior Dos Santos talks to Sherdog.com about his opposing coach, Brock Lesnar, on The Ultimate Fighter 13 and what assistant coaches he'll be bringing with him.

Penick's Analysis: Dos Santos knew what he was getting into with this fight. Lesnar represents a capable wrestler with heavy hands, and although his striking isn't nearly at the level of Velasquez at this stage, he is a dangerous fight for Dos Santos. Looks like we may not get the Black House dream team helping him out, but there may be cameos throughout the season from the Nogueira brothers, and perhaps Anderson Silva following his UFC 126 fight. I'm very intrigued for this season of the show, and how Dos Santos comes across as a personality throughout will be one of the many side stories that surrounds this season.
